    This is now a balancing act for Australia - they know they have to go for it, take a few more risks, but they only have three wickets in hand.

    Now then we've had a bit of clarification on what Hayden Wilde’s penalty was issued for in the men's triathlon earlier.

    It was actually for unclipping his helmet before he’d finished racking his bike in transition two.

    England's Alex Yee won the race and with it the first gold medal of the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

    Olympic silver medallist Yee and Wilde were locked together when New Zealander Wilde was told of his penalty.

    World number one Wilde congratulated Yee before stepping aside, allowing the Englishman to cross the line alone.

    Josh Cook has the highest score on the horizontal bars with 13.100, and with that we can say it's been a good session for Wales.

    Emil Barber and Brinn Bevan are sitting pretty in the vault and parallel bars respectively as the second of three qualifying sessions draws to a close.

    They're way out in front in the team rankings on 236.200.

    A really good lunchtime session for Northern Ireland as well with Rhys McClenaghan, Eamon Montgomery and Ewan McAteer all performing strongly.

    In the all-around standings, Jersey's Daniel Lee leads Welsh trio Joe Cemlyn Jones, Cook and Jacob Edwards.

    There are plenty of big hitters to come in the final session which begins at 17:30 with England, Scotland, New Zealand and Australia among the nations in action.

    Could Zac Stubblety-Cook break his own world record this evening?

    Since his 200m breaststroke gold in Tokyo the Australian has also become world champion and set the leading world mark in May.
